The Ghana Football Association is inviting bids for the television rights to the Glo Premier League, following the termination of the previous deal with Gateway Broadcast Services (GBS).

The Ghana Football Association today launched an invitation for media broadcasters to submit offers for sponsorship packages for the television rights of the Glo Premier League.
A statement issued by GFA, said: “The Ghana Football Association (GFA) hereby invites bids for the sale of the Television Rights (cable/free on air) of the GLO PREMIER LEAGUE.”
